Thai Temple Ceremonial Black Lacquered and Gilt Kneeling Monk Sculpture
About the Item
A Thai kneeling ceremonial monk sculpture from circa 1920 with hand painted gilt and lacquer over stone. This remarkable Thai ceremonial kneeling monk sculpture, discovered within a temple, is an extraordinary artifact of spiritual significance. Skillfully hand-painted, its surface is adorned with gilt and lacquer over stone, presenting a stunning interplay of dark skin tones against the resplendent golden and brown hues of the monk's attire. Positioned in a graceful kneeling posture, legs tucked to one side, the sculpture exudes a sense of devout serenity and reverence. The monk's attire, draped to reveal one shoulder, cascades elegantly down his back, while his hands are clasped in a gesture of prayerful meditation. His tranquil facial expression conveys a profound sense of inner peace, inviting reflection and tranquility into any space.
This ceremonial figure would make a profound addition to a home, serving as a focal point in a living room, study, or personal sanctuary. It offers not only a decorative element but also imbues the space with a sense of calm and contemplation. For those seeking to create a paired arrangement, a second statue is available, allowing for a harmonious balance and symmetry in the display. Together, they can form a serene and inviting atmosphere, fostering an environment conducive to meditation and relaxation.
